Aperture 1.1 Universal Update and $200 Price Drop [Update]

Yes, fantastic update, but they still don't have support for my dSLR's RAW format (Olympus E-500)! When will this be added? Doesn't it have to do with support by the OS? Then it looks it won't be until Leopard comes out. :(

or in a future tiger update.

aperture is definitely far more tempting for a "prosumer" like me at 299..
 
I bet there's at least one Apple worker whose single job is to monitor this forum. And when a rumor comes out that is too close to what Apple is actually doing this person will post something like: "won't ever happen" or "that would be insane for Apple".

I'm pretty sure Apple reads the thread here. It's a nice way to find out what the geeky people want. Let's start a thread requesting a 12" MacBook Pro :)

Yeah, I'm tempted too. I'm just an amateur but I'm close to outgrowing iPhoto.

This is exactly where I'm at. Amateur, but I'm getting tired of iPhoto and I can get the edu discount through my university. 150 isn't bad at all for something that cost 500 this morning.

How well do you guys think this will run on a 1.5 GHz G4 PB with 2 GB RAM?

Bit of a bastard that the Edu UK price is still £129.25 (US$227)!!! :eek:
hope they update that price to somewhere nearer the US Edu price, my uni's newspaper could do with it.
 
Price Drop

That guy who bought 3 copies has 600 dollars coming his way! New Mac Mini for free!. Text from Apples Web site

On April 13, 2006 Apple released Aperture 1.1, the first Universal version of Aperture and a significant update to the revolutionary all-in-one post-production tool for photographers. In addition, Apple lowered the price of Aperture from $499 to $299. Apple is offering a $200 e-coupon good on the online Apple Store to licensed users of Aperture 1.0. Licensed users of Aperture 1.0 Academic will receive a $100 e-coupon.
 
Rebate form in the mail. :D

iPod Hi-Fi? put it and my edu toward a 17" PB?

Now as long as my PM is fixed by the end of the week, I think I can handle this Intel thing without throwing up.

Good, all you whiny *****es who complained about paying $499 (even though you determined at that time that the software was worth that price, since you DID buy it), and how Apple was an evil company who ripped you off....

You can eat crow for Easter. $200 credit. I think anyone who whined should be forced to write a formal apology before he can claim the credit.

Yeah, you own a copy?

Not according to the MacWorld (UK) webiste

The software now costs £219 - £130 cheaper than before when it cost £349. Existing users can claim a £130 money-back voucher from Apple which they can spend at the Apple Store online.

I'd be willing to bet the guy that posted the premature info on Apple's RSS feed last night just got moved to a different dept.;)

It's great that Apple is giving $200 back to the folks that paid $200 too much too!!

I'd be more worried about your VRAM and CPU. Aperture seems to be demanding most of those.
 
Bruce Chizen is having a hissy fit as we speak. We'll probably see a Universal of CS a couple of years from now.

"I'll show that fracking Jobs!!"
 
Just got done installing it. There are some nice little changes :p.

I'm especially happy with the D200 support that came with the last Mac OS X update :p.

Edit: I accidentally posted an image with my serial number:(. Thanks bousozoku for fixing it up for me.

Anyhow, to anyone trying to send it in be prepared for a damn good laugh. Its ineligible because it was a volume educational purchase :D.
